Early or Winter Peas 
350 seeds per oz. 
A late September or October sowing in 3 in. pots will make fine 
material for replanting those Mum beds; and such a start saves a month 
of greenhouse time. If grown cold during the dark months, this sowing 
is at its best for next Easter and is usually more profitable than the early, 
mid-winter crop. We have been specializing in peas for many years 
and have originated all the best varieties on our list. Our experience 
and suggestions on growing peas are freely and regularly presented in 
our monthly ““GROWER TALKS.” 
Prices on all following Early or Winter Flowering Pea 
varieties, except where noted is as follows: 2 oz., 25c; 1 oz., 
40c; 4 ozs., $1.25; 1 Ib., $4.00.

This photograph shows the effect of steam sterilizing soil. Not 
very clear but will give an idea of the great importance of clean 
soil. After a season or two, greenhouse soil rapidly fills with rot 
because it is not exposed to the sterilizing effect of frost, open 
sun, and heavy rains.

Spring Flowering Peas 
An entirely new class that is intermediate in flowering and 
habit between the Winter and Summer flowering type. If sown 
in our section before October, they get too tall. Sow late 
October, November and December. They are sown to advantage 
as late as February. Such a sowing will flower at a height of 
2-3 ft. and 10 days to 2 weeks later than the earlier start. 
While they do not flower quite so early as the Winter class, 
their stronger growth enables them to hold out longer in Spring.

flowers and heavy stems make an outstanding display.
